| Oh wow, so it's pretty much official ^__^ but non-bl fans should be able to watch it since the hints are subtle ( at least in the first season) Can't wait for this to air! |
Elika said: I don't think Kuroshitsuji is a fujoshi but it can easily be misinterpreted as one. It's slashable at the least. Very intentionally so, considering Toboso Yana's manga history. :3 |
Elika said: Fujoshi is a pejorative term for girls who are fans of yaoi. Fujoshi is more towards how some yaoi fangirls imagine what it would be like if male characters (heterosexual males) from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, would somehow fall in love with each other. ~~~~ I don't think Kuroshitsuji is a fujoshi but it can easily be misinterpreted as one. THANK YOU!!!...and i don't think that it is one either...and i agree that it can be misinterpreted as one...:) |

| I've read that fujoshi can be translated as for rotten or spoiled women. And yeah I can see it... but my husband who is a huge kuroshitsuji fan doesn't; so, eye of the beholder I guess? |
